Double negative? Does that mean he's a +6?

Anywho I'll be kinda happy to see Celebrini win it. It'll make negotiating Hutson's contract extension easier this July.
If i was montreal i would not negotiate this summer, i would wait until the 2025-26 season is over.
 
When it's a 3-player race, the one that plays the 'other' position (D in this case) usually wins. I like Hutson's chances if everything continues.

Hutson and Michkov have been fantastic but if it continues like this, Celibrini will separate himself from the pack.
I don't disagree, but Hutson has taken off due to being put on PP1 (finally) and now having Laine as an option.
 
Betting line is moving.

Hutson is indeed moving up. Celebrini now in first but Michkov not far behind and they play each other on NYE. Lots can change - prior to Celebrini coming back from injury, he was +800.
 


Not your typical highlight reel goal; but it's why we Sharks fans love him and shows just how complete his game is. Slick neutral zone takeaway, and then wins the puck battle while falling to the ice to complete the zone entry pass to Will Smith; and then those 2 work some magic once they're on attack.

His offensive stats have seen an increase, no doubt about it. I just think that his defensive play has been more “hit or miss” recently and he’s having more difficulty finding the right play 5 on 5 than earlier on in the season.

Amazing player though. He’s the main reason I watch these days.

Yeah, he makes some mistakes as any rookie would on D, but he more than makes up for it with his offensive instincts. He looks like a 10-year veteran with the puck on his stick out there, especially on the PP.

I hope Michkov can find his groove again soon. I believe after today’s game it is 7 in a row now without a point.

it's not like he plays good and points will come. he can't do anything on his own and there is no chemistry with teammates. also pp is putrid, they can't even get into the offensive zone while on it. the team is rigidly coached and there is no room for mistakes. it's more likely they will smother his potential than he will turn it around in that environment. a couple of years in the khl would do wonders for him but i won't be surprised if he busts hard now.
